Make them prove they can stop the run. Ivory had so many yards after contact, their run defense doesn't look improved.
With the way our Oline hit the 2nd level Sunday, should be able to replicate it.
Honestly, I think losing Phil Taylor had a big impact on their ability to stop the run.
2014 (Phil Taylor missed all but 3-4 games): 32nd in rush yards allowed, 28th in yards per rush
2013 (Phil Taylor played the whole season): 18th in rush yards allowed, 8th in yards per rush
Obviously with Taylor out of the picture now, I'd keep giving them a heavy dose of Hill and Gio in both games.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
